Former Tiger Chase Daniel wins Saints’ backup job

Former Missouri Tiger quarterback Chase Daniel has won the backup quarterback’s role in New Orleans behind Drew Brees. After his record setting career at Mizzou, Daniel was originally signed by Washington as an undrafted free agent in 2009. Daniel was then signed by the Saints following training camp and split time between the practice squad and active roster, working with the scout team. Daniel was the third string quarterback when the Saints won their Super Bowl last season.
